Figures I totally missed the beach update, right up my alley too lol.

I know it's been a long time since some promises were made and changed based upon ROI for a game that's nearly finished, but what's the plan with animated scenes? This update had the best animation yet, totally unexpected and it gives me a sliver of hope the animator might be tasked to animate lots of legacy scenes as well. I would also totally understand that moving all resources to the new game is priority and investing months into legacy scenes that will struggle to realize any profit wouldn't make sense. Whatever is the case, it'd be cool to know.

I'm just glad this smooth animation is showing up for the beach, the animator is most definitely worth the cost. Very hyped for the new game.

Hi,

Is there any requirement to continue with the shower scene at the beach?

I started that part, but after the blowjob I can't have any more scene.
I tried to be there in the weekend and be in fallen state, but nothing.

The lifeguard scenes and nudist beach I can do them until the end of the update, but not this one.

Starke do have plans to go back and improve on old scenes, text, even quest and yeah everything, but to go back and remake all scenes to animated version is an INSANELY HUGE job - There are over 300 unique scenes in the game at this moment.
- So yeah don't expect that will ever happen honestly.

The team do want to move on to the next game more then anything, no point in being stuck in Fleeting Iris forever.
Expect more animations in the next game :coffee:

Well, I would too if I was stuck in an ancient engine for over half a decade.

I know they had this project as an 'infinitely ongoing' game for all that time (and to be fair, many DEVs do that), but honestly I wonder why DEV teams don't just 'finish' their games with a smaller scope & split them up into 'parts'. Basically what Monster Girl Quest does.

The way I see it, you have a finished product you can sell (quicker), but mostly you can switch/upgrade engines in the middle.
You'd be able to get off VX Ace, up the resolution & stuff like that w/o the need for recreating or upres'ing the whole thing if you would wanna upgrade engines in the middle of maintaining an existing product.

Now ... it doesn't prevent a full interlinked storyline, but I guess it would end up with some overhead at the start of each 'iteration', such as recreating/upgrading the maps if you want to reuse them.
That kind of release structure does have an impact on how you tell your 'story' though. So when you rely heavily on the 'route' concept like this game seems to be doing, it might not be so easy. You'd end up with Part 1 having routes A, B & C. Part 2 then getting D, E & F or something like that, which might also not be ideal.

Heavily scripted games ... it'll probably be some work when switching from the proprietary VX Ace script thingy to modern JS (though I would expect them to have that work for the next game now, since no doubt they'll want to try and transfer some features, and I'd also assume they won't go for the ancient VX Ace engine anymore at this point).

Fair, that's what I was expecting. Honestly didn't even realize the scene count hit over 300, maybe if an HD remake were ever financially feasible in the future. Either way, it's really cool to see how much progress has been made to quality the past year and starting off the next game at this level, exciting to see what happens.

The team would love an HD-remake, but the game isn't even 100% complete yet. And the time to actually make that happen is insanely high, meaning all other projects would be benched. And that honestly don't make much sense.
- If the team get more income later down the line, perhaps a HD-remake would be possible. But for now it's not really realistic.

I dunno, man. Seems kinda fishy.
Are you telling him that, to run a game which errors with the message "RPGVXAce RTP is required to run this game." he would need to get the RPGVXAce RTP?!
I mean...that's probably the first thing he looked for after getting the error message, I assume...
Hmmmm... :unsure:

As someone who's worked in the IT business for many many years, I can honestly tell you that ... NO he didn't.
For some reason people are literally illiterate as soon as they see a message popup that may or may not have a red X in it to indicate it's an error.

Tell them the literal solution to a problem in an error/warning message & you'll still get a support e-mail. Often with the literal solution in the screenshot you ask for. Right there, on their own screen.

Heck ... the message can literally say 'click yes to install a virus & F up your PC forever' and they'll just merrily keep clicking yes.

Love the outfits. :love:
Will all of them be in the shota patch?
(More specific number 5, 6) ;)

Yes they are remade in HD to fit Fleeting Iris IF, and to my understanding they will all be in in that standalone version.
- Plan is not to implement them into the normal game, since the worktime for that would be off the charts.
